Highlights

Liebherr H9X6 is a highly compact 13 liters 6-cylinder hydrogen engine. Still in development, this engine presents promising and encouraging results in terms of CO2 and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. This 6-cylinder engine comes with port-fuel technology (PFI). PFI takes place at pressures below 20 bar directly into the intake system. The power density is 20 - 30% lower to that of a diesel engine due to air displacement effects. Port fuel injectors work in less demanding operating conditions which results in an easier design. This engine is the perfect sweet spot between decades of combustion engines development with our customers and advanced technologies to optimise the combustion of hydrogen.

  • Configuration - In-line engine

  • Number of cylinders - 6

LiDIA - engine diagnostic solution

LiDIA is an intuitive and user-friendly engine diagnostic solution, which requires no configuration, facillitates access to the engine environment, and reduces the complexity of diagnostic procedures to the essentials. LiDIA offers a rapid overview of all information on the engine system: status, diagnostic trouble codes, active limitations and failure reactions.

reThink & reFuel

The reduction of global greenhouse gases is a significant challenge of our generation. Striving to reach net zero emissions in the future, Liebherr works on alternative and climate-friendly powertrain concepts. ​
